What are the regulatory challenges associated with PFAS?
Regulating PFAS is challenging due to their widespread use and persistence. Traditional water treatment methods are often ineffective at removing PFAS, making it difficult to manage contamination once it occurs. Additionally, the sheer number of different PFAS compounds complicates regulatory efforts, as each may have different properties and health impacts. Regulatory agencies are working to establish guidelines and standards for PFAS, but the process is complex and ongoing.
